County staff presented the estimated 2026 farm‑to‑market rock purchase: 12,872 tons intended to cover roughly 32 miles of road. Staff said using county trucks and equipment reduced cost compared with contractor-only delivery; the transcript shows the estimated total cost discussed near $364,277 while staff noted the budget line for the project is $360,000.
Supervisors asked procedural questions about bidding and local preference; staff explained that only one bid/respondent was available this year and that prior practice has allowed direct procurement when other bidders are not available. The board made, seconded and carried a motion to approve the FM rock quote and proceed with the work.
"Make a motion to approve the 2026 FM Rockwell for 12,872 tons at total cost of 364,277," staff said when presenting the quote; the board recorded the motion as carried after voice vote.
